Ordinary countryside reborn

Chapter 11 Parents
When I got home, my grandma was dozing off in a chair, and Li Mei and his wife hadn't come back yet.

Tian Yuan came to the stove. When she was not cooking, she would burn water. She lifted the pot and looked into the stove. The top coals were still red, and it seemed that they could still burn for a long time.

She took out the pressure cooker and started washing rice and cooking. By the way, she instructed Tian Yu to go to the nearby vegetable garden to pick some vegetables. When Tian Yu heard this, she ran away in a panic. She was going to pick her favorite vegetables.

The vegetable garden is on the left side of the house, and it is about forty to fifty square meters. The land here is not fertile, and a lot of stones are mixed in the soil, basically accounting for half of each.

Tian Zhi worked hard to clean up and fertilize, and it took two years to make it look decent. Finally, he could grow some side dishes, otherwise it would be very inconvenient to have to go far to choose vegetables every time he cooks.

Long beans and carrots are planted in the current vegetable garden, and eggplants, pumpkins, bitter gourds, etc. are also planted a little bit, and long beans and green peppers occupy the most land.

Tian Yu picked a few green peppers and two cucumbers and went back.Beans and carrots, she didn't dare to pick these, most of the beans should be kept for pickles, fresh ones can only be eaten occasionally.The carrot is still too small, she likes bitter gourd and pumpkin, and she hasn't picked them yet.

Tian Yuan was the cook, and Tian Yu was next to him, passing plates and the like from time to time, and he was very obedient and obedient.

Grandma woke up when she was cooking in the field. Seeing the two of them busy, she didn't bother her. She looked at her with a kind smile on her face.

Stir-fry cucumbers with green peppers on a plate, heat up the remaining pickles in the cabinet, leave some pickles in the pot at the end, add water and salt to cook the soup, this is their dinner dish.

Before the water in the pot boiled, Li Mei and his wife came back. Li Mei smelled the aroma of the vegetables and walked into the door suspiciously, "Huh? Who will cook first today?"

At this time, Tianyuan had already served the food to grandma. Seeing the dust of Li Mei and his wife, Li Mei was still walking towards the vegetable table, looking at the dishes on the table, and said admiringly: "Yuanyuan, it's you." Made it? It looks pretty good. In the past, only your elder sister could cook among the three sisters, and you two could cook a pot, but now you can also cook, which is not bad.”

Tian Zhi followed her and nodded in agreement, with a smile on his simple face.

Tian Yuan walked over and pulled the two of them towards the faucet, "Mom and Dad, it's a bit hot today, wash your hands first to cool down."

If you don't wash it, the ashes on your body will fall into the vegetables.

Li Mei felt that the second daughter was sensible now and knew how to love them as parents. She felt that her fatigue had gone away. She patted her clothes and washed the dirt from her hands and feet.

"This fried cucumber and green pepper is delicious. Serve with rice."

"Hmm~ The cucumber is crisp and delicious, with the aroma of pepper, not bad."

"Today's rice is not bad, it's not burnt black, neither soft nor hard."

During the meal, Li Mei kept praising her, and Tian Yuan thought that the burden of cooking would be on her in the future.

Just after thinking about this, Li Mei said: "Yuanyuan, you have the talent to cook, if you have nothing to do in the future, I will cook for you."

Tian Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, but Mom, you have to agree to one condition."

Tian Zhi was eating big mouthfuls of rice, and he looked very appetizing. When he heard Tian Yuan's words, he frowned, swallowed the food in his mouth, looked at Tian Yuan in disbelief, and his tone was somewhat severe:

"Tianyuan, your mother works hard on the farm outside, and cooks for the whole family when she comes back. Now that you're grown up, it's time for you to share a little for the family. Why do you still have the conditions?"

Tian Yu didn't dare to speak at the dinner table, but sat on a small bench next to her grandma. She was a little afraid of Tian Zhi's anger, so she ate the rice in the bowl carefully, not daring to pick up the food.

She looked up at her grandma, her teeth were bad, and she was eating a piece of sweet potato, when she saw Tian Zhi getting angry, she tapped the edge of the bowl with her chopsticks, "Don't worry, talk about things slowly, Yuanyuan is not ignorant children."

Li Mei wasn't angry either. The second daughter was obedient and sensible since she was a child. She probably just wanted some pocket money to buy food, so she could just give her a dime or two.

She touched Tian Zhi with her arm to calm him down, "Let's listen to what Tian Yuan has to say first." Seeing that his wife and grandma were both talking to Tian Yuan, Tian Zhi said nothing more.

"Mom, I remember that there is still a piece of black cloth at home that has not been used up. It has been in the closet for a long time. That material is very suitable for making pants. Can you make me a pair when you are free?" Tian Yuan had an idea, but he needed Li Mei's help.

The piece of cloth has been in the closet, Tianyuan has seen it when he was picking up the clothes, and I am not sure if there is any other use for keeping it.

Li Mei was speechless, "I thought your condition was to ask for money to buy snacks, but it turns out that you are thinking about that piece of cloth."

She got up and took a bowl of soup from the pot, and took a few sips after picking up the bowl. The sauerkraut soup is so delicious in summer, and the broth is nothing more than that.

She squinted her eyes, finished eating and drinking, then she looked at Tian Yuan and waved her hand, "That piece of cloth is indeed not very useful, you have to learn how to sew by yourself to make clothes, how can I have the time? Now It's the busy time of farming, and your dad and I can't wait for the sun not to go down the mountain every day."

Tianyuan blinked and said, "I can also help when I'm on vacation. Besides, for a master like you, it doesn't take an hour to make a pair of pants. I will come to work tomorrow. Can you spare a little time to help me make them well?"

You have to learn when to learn a sewing machine, and now is not the time to learn a sewing machine.

Speaking of this, Li Mei had no choice but to agree, "Okay, I will get it for you tomorrow when I have time."

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Tian Yuan hurriedly washed the dishes after eating, then went back to the room, took out the paper and pen, and started drawing.

Grandma was a little sleepy after the meal, unable to cheer up, Tian Yu pushed her back to the room.

After Tian Zhi finished eating, he ran to serve his precious vegetable garden. Li Mei thought Tian Yuan was doing homework when he saw Tian Yuan sitting there, so he didn't bother her anymore.

Li Mei shoveled out half of the cooked food from the big iron pot on the stove, mixed with sweet potatoes, white radishes, gray radishes, sweet potato vines and other food for pigs, put it in the pig food bucket, and scooped up two more Put the scoop of hot water in, stir well, soon the pig food is ready, she lifts the pig food bucket and walks to the pigsty.

When Li Mei came back, she saw Tian Yuan was still sitting there. She walked behind Tian Yuan, glanced at the notebook on the table, and asked, "What are you doing? Finished your homework?"

Tian Yuan was in a daze when she heard a voice suddenly and was startled. She turned her head and looked at Li Mei with resentful eyes. touched.

Li Mei waved her palm towards Tian Yuan, she quickly leaned back, and shouted in panic, "Mom, a gentleman uses his mouth but doesn't move his hands!"

"You don't study hard yourself, you write scribbles here, and you blame others!" Seeing that she couldn't hit Tianyuan, Li Mei patted her on the arm twice.
